I came to this piece of absolutely brilliant writing very late but everything it says remains very relevant and make for an excellent thought provoking read. Do you now have an opinion on the Docuseries? Brijnath's pieces I access now only through an occasional piece in Mint Lounge but with your sports writing that missing is more than made up for. Just so enjoy it.
Loved this piece. Thanks for the recommendations. Alcaraz is so special. Hope to watch him live someday. Have to read the Phelps book. Loved the Agassi book. We talked about autobiographies briefly. But I really enjoyed these cricket autobiographies.
Thanks, Abhishek! Andrea Pirlo and Dennis Bergkamp wrote very good ones. Steve Waugh and Ponting too, although there is a lot more dipping into the Australian team culture.

Thank you so much! :)
I haven't watched the series yet. Maybe soon, as a pre-game before the US Open haha.
Dang. Tremendous writing on this one.
Thank you so much!

Lovely piece Sarthak! And thanks for the recommendations.
Thank you so much, Satya!
Thanks for the book recommendations! I read Bindra's and it was nice.
It's an amazing book! Like most things written by Rohit Brijnath anyway haha.
Great piece, the pressure is huge especially for a 21 year old kid, navigating everyone wanting a piece of him whilst staying true to himself, all whilst growing up, for this angle you may be interested to read this: https://open.substack.com/pub/tennischampions/p/the-apprenticeship-of-carlos-alcaraz?r=pacry&utm_medium=ios
Thanks, Ruben! I'll check your piece out :)
Such a thought provoking piece. It is challenging my conditioned beliefs about the path to the top for sure. So well written, Sarthak.
Thank you so much, Binu!
